That's a cool looking tank.... What are the stocking "rules" for a cylander... You can put a tang in a 90-100G tank (4-5 foot).. but I'm guessing that "rule" kinda goes out the window with a cylinder eh?

Look forward to this tank!

I have a 80g cylinder tank. The dimensions on mine are 28" diameter and 28" tall. I have tangs in mine. In a way it might be better than a standard tank because they can swim around and around in circles and never have to turn around!!

Removing algae from the glass is a bit of a pain in the *ss. You have to keep up with it. If you get lazy and leave it a few days+ then you're in there up to your armpit with a scrubber.

looks good ^

I like your 90 g cylinder and could picture it set up pretty nice with corals going 360 deg. kinda like a christmas tree structure, I say go reef for sure and maybe use acrilic rods and putty to build a structure around the overflow also you could drill holes in the lr before putting in so that when you buy corals on plugs or lr you can stick them in the holes works great for me!!

I wonder if you could mod a hammerhead algae magnet to have a curvature to match the curvature of the cylinder tank.
